I have to work with an unbelievable stubborn (and incompetent) "project Manager)

He just actually tried to convince us that leading 0 in some" hexadecimal" strings get truncated.

I know that does not sound like something to lose the mind over, but these wrong facts do come up ever so often. It knaws on my sanity.

    I got you fam,
    It drives you crazy.

    I got comments like that and it gets worse.
    "No we dont need to test" *i gave a disapproving face* "well, just manually"

    And absurds and crazy comments.

    @Letmecode Not only is he a programmer and developes, he also is the "project manager". Even though i've not once seen him doing a project manager related task.

    And now guess who breaks the Jenkins most.

    If it makes you feel better I once had a professor who tried to convince me that if unsigned num < x you also have to check that it's greater than 0 because unsigned num could be negative

    Hey, not defending him or anything but dosent python interprets \x2 to be the same as \x02?
    And can even return \x2 in some occasions?
    Not sure but when I was dooing crypto it drives me crazy, especially in python3

    @Aymen I am not overly familiar with Python, it might well allow both statements.
    But it was not what was ment here, he talked about leading zeroes in strings. And even though he mentioned hexadecimal, they are no strings just numbers
    Of course \x0003 would be equal to \x03 because they are numbers ;)
